Food and friends: Celebrity guests join Garten in six all-new episodes
The table has been set for Season 4 of “Be My Guest With Ina Garten,” beginning Sunday, April 21, on Food Network.
According to an episode description shared by the network, the six-episode season begins as Ina welcomes her close friend, actress Jennifer Garner (“13 Going on 30,” 2004), for a day of cooking and conversation on Ina’s property.
“Since Jennifer mentions she has trouble nailing her grandmother’s cornbread recipe, Ina troubleshoots with her incredible Brown Butter Skillet Cornbread,” the description shares. “After discussing family, love and childhood memories, they head into the kitchen for a pizza collaboration to create the ultimate Garner and Garten Pizza and Jen’s Pizza Crackers.”
In the following episode, Ina is joined by astronaut Nicole Mann, who rolls her sleeves up and joins the “barefoot contessa” in the process of making an Apple Crostata — a dish Mann craved regularly while commanding the International Space Station. Together, they discuss their careers and family lives, before digging into a slice of warm, ooey-gooey, apple-y goodness.
With great conversation to be had — and many dishes to taste — Ina then bids farewell to her “out of this world” sous chef, preparing for a whole season’s worth of formidable friends. From actress Emily Mortimer (“Mary Poppins Returns,” 2018) and restaurateur Danny Meyer (“Top Chef”), to writers like professor Frank Bruni and the New Yorker’s acclaimed editor, David Remnick, Ina’s kitchen-table philosophy shines through: the more, the merrier.
Produced by Pacific Productions, Season 4 of “Be My Guest With Ina Garten” premieres Sunday, April 21, on Food Network.
